'''The Gilberd School''' is a [[comprehensive school]] in [[Colchester]], [[England]]. |
|||
Since their opening on 12th July 1912 the buildings on North Hill, [[Colchester]], have seen many changes, although the exterior structure is almost unaltered. Built at a cost of around £13,000 on a site bought in [[1908]] for £3,500, they originally housed ''The Junior Technical School'', ''The Secondary School for Girls'' (''later The County High School''), ''The School of Art'', as well as the ''Area Education Office''. In the evening the buildings were used for adult classes. |
|||
During the 1930s the School became known as ''The North East Essex Technical College and School of Art''. In 1957 The County High School for Girls moved to new premises in Norman Way. When the new Technical College in Sheepen Road was completed in [[1959]] the Art School and day release classes moved there. |
|||
In 1959 the School took the name '''Gilberd''' for the first time and was called ''The Gilberd County Technical School'', after Dr. William Gilberd (also known as [[William Gilbert]]), [[1544]]-[[1603]], the "father of electricity" and medical adviser to Queen Elizabeth 1. The site is now used as [[Colchester Sixth Form College]], and the school is based on Brinkley Lane in the Highwoods area of the town. |
|||
In the recent year 2 students who support Manchester United and Celtic have also been doing some promotional work on behalf of the school with some educational videos on Youtube. These videos are primirally for business studies under the guidance of Miles Muttitt. |
